Midland Industries SS6805-08-08 Stainless Elbow Adapter

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES SS6805-08-08 is a 90-degree elbow adapter machined from 316 stainless steel, designed to connect a 1/2-inch Male Adjustable O-Ring Boss (MORB) port to a 1/2-inch Female NPTF (National Pipe Taper Fuel) thread. The MORB end uses a 3/4-16 thread with an O-ring seal for a leak-free, adjustable-orientation connection. The FNPTF end provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal without relying on sealant alone. Rated to 1000 degrees F operating temperature, this fitting is built for demanding fluid and gas transfer applications in industrial, hydraulic, and high-temperature plumbing systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for industrial piping, hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and high-temperature fluid transfer applications where corrosion resistance and reliable sealing are required. The 90-degree elbow configuration allows routing changes in tight or congested plumbing runs. The 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh environments including exposure to moisture, chemicals, and elevated temperatures. It is part of the SS6805 Series, which covers MORB to FNPT elbow configurations in multiple sizes.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in confined plumbing runs
• 1/2-inch Male Adjustable O-Ring Boss (MORB) end with 3/4-16 thread for leak-free, orientation-adjustable connections
• 1/2-inch Female NPTF end with pressure-tight thread form for secure mechanical sealing
• Rated to 1000 degrees F operating temperature for high-heat fluid and gas applications

Compatibility

Part of the Midland Industries SS6805 Series covering MORB to FNPT elbow adapters. Designed for use in systems with 1/2-inch Male Adjustable O-Ring Boss ports mating to 1/2-inch Female NPTF fittings or ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified plumber, pipefitter, or hydraulic technician familiar with NPTF and O-ring boss connections. De-pressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. The MORB end requires a properly seated O-ring and correct torque against the boss face to achieve a leak-free seal; do not over-torque. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the NPTF threads in accordance with applicable codes and the system fluid compatibility requirements.
